I had a blast doing this, which was just for fun--no schedules to meet, no living out of a suitcase, no dawn red-eye departures, just fun. I think you would be doing yourself a favor; we won't always have the opportunity.

I have thought a number of times about getting back into flying. I was a rank amateur compared to you, but I flew for 26 years as conditions allowed. I even owned a small fleet of training and charter planes while stationed in OKC. Honestly, I did not enjoy being a flight instructor very much and charter work even less. I just loved to fly anytime and anywhere I could. It was really an addiction for me. Over the years I have thought about just dipping my toes in, but that is what all addicts think:) After reading this, I am thinking again:)Chuck and Anneke's RV travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01929384797592263167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612782136487369362.post-74408671104225797652017-02-05T09:51:53.013-06:002017-02-05T09:51:53.013-06:00Mike, I am so enjoying your back to flying story. ...Mike, I am so enjoying your back to flying story. I came close as a teenager to go and get my private pilots license, but never got there. I compensate with my R/C aircraft and do understand the terms you are using. I once had the chance to sit in the right hand seat and take the controls of a Cessna 172. Looking forward to reading more of your story.

Then one day, for no known reason, I became terribly ill on flight from Denver to DFW. From then on, it's been horrible as I have tried and tried, to fly and can't get off the ground. So, I'll watch you and the grandson's and wish for one last flight.Middle Class Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00688204620656873729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612782136487369362.post-77842562570782598472017-02-04T14:40:03.665-06:002017-02-04T14:40:03.665-06:00Wow that sounds awesome, getting back in grove so ...Wow that sounds awesome, getting back in grove so quickly, enjoy some more flying time and have too much fun.our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612782136487369362.post-87195350723043885182017-02-04T14:07:06.754-06:002017-02-04T14:07:06.754-06:00Congrats Pard.
